This may be a tad late but here are a few things that are powered by ACC on an R32 located under the hood. Cheers. - Front wiper amplifier (Box near boost sensor on driver side) - Front & Rear windshield washer motor (On washer reservoir) - A/C Relay (Underhood fusebox)

Just by the company name alone most would know to stay away.

At this point you're probably not wrong. On a good note, didn't cost all that much for decent power. I put a sc pulley, intakes, catbacks and tune on it and was making 600hp and 650lb/tq. Thing spun everywhere on 305's in the back.

I would just like to add; do your research on AMG's before buying one. I've owned an E55 AMG and I've never seen a car depreciate so bloody fast. I bought it used, must have been about 5-6 years old and I had paid 30k (70-80k loss in 5 years). I can remember giving the owner the 30K at the bank, him putting the 30k + roughly another 30K from his pocket just to pay it off to legally sell it to me. I was stunned he still owed 60k on the thing. I sold it 5 years later for 18K. 110k to 18k in a little over 10 years. If you do your own work, they are fun cars but parts are bloody expensive. If you intend to always have it serviced at the dealer; forget about it. I remember going to the dealer once to get an alignment due to the air suspension (most other shops didn't want to touch it) and got quoted 600$ for a 30min job. After a few choice words, I walked out dying of laughter.

It's not great, but it's far from terrible. I'd fill it back up with a tig in small increments and file it back down. Shitty spot to do it but doable in place with everything around it out of the way.

Huh? What do step children and red heads have in common? Sorry I'm not following. I'm an Irish/scot runt and I've never heard the term ginger stick before.

Fair enough. My apologies sir!

Oki doke, I was just trying to be funny. Nothing else. Cheers.

I'm presuming they're step daughters if you let them drive Subaru's.

At the price they cost, I would toss/return them. Even if they worked fine, the added stress of always thinking about them is not worth it.

Think of the children. Foruming whilst intoxicated is never ok!

and that's only when they're not busy spinning bearings or blowing head gaskets.

As GTSBOY has said, I would also take the opportunity to upgrade to integral igniters. If you want something on the cheaper end; use newer S2 coil packs like spitfires or OEM. Cheers.

I had the same thing happen to me last year on my 2010 rogue. It was the TB. That being said I had a check engine pop up though instantly. I could barely rev above idle and I had zero power. I turned it off/on a couple times and it went away and never came back. If ever it's your CVT, our transmission warranties were extended to 10 years over here in Canada(Presumably worldwide) as Nissan was aware of issues. Mine was fine but I had it replaced last year before the warranty ran out... I just made shit up about it making noise on the highway and It was replaced 2-3 days later. Cheers.

You seem to already have your mind made up but the best use you can get out of that block is turning it into a table or some other decoration. I'd feel safer making 500hp with an RB20 block then that thing. Cheers.

What he said. Battery offset, Latency, lag, dead time are all the same thing.

Manufacturers state normal oil consumption for warranty reasons. If any modern car was burning 1L of oil per 1000kms, they would all be bankrupt due to warranty work. Think of it, that's anywhere between 8-15L added between oil changes, depending on the manufacturer. Cheers.

I'm almost at 300rwkw and burn zero oil. Adding 1l per 1000km you would almost do two oil changes before your oil change is actually due. I'd consider 1l per 5000kms borderline. Only time I've seen engines burn that much oil is when they were on their death bed or bubba did something funky with his crankcase ventilation or turbo oil return. Unless you swapped in a 2 stroke or a rotary, I'd look into fixing that.

I can't tell by your photo's exactly what portions of your rails are damaged but I just checked and Nissan actually still produces at a fair price most of the rail. Cheers.

I really like it. If there's any part of it that I'm not 100% on; it's the rear.

Welcome! I'm also from Canada and I get all my parts directly from the dealer. Nissan Canada can get anything directly from Nissan Japan, and some times weirdly enough has it in stock (Ex. My R32 skyline rear interior trims they had in stock at the Montreal warehouse) It's also always cheaper then you will find online. Cheers.

That looks good to me!

Nissan calls them recirculation valves, and this being a Nissan forum I'll stick with that but their patents have a variety of different names. Speaking of patents, they also describe their purpose. Here's a portion of text of one of hundreds of different patents. Cheers. Patent US10077709 FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to diverter valve systems used with turbocharged or supercharged motor vehicles. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Most modern turbocharged vehicle engines include some form of factory-fitted blow-off or bypass valve in the intake tract, the purpose of which is to open during throttle closure to provide a relief path from a diversion aperture or pressurised air that would otherwise cause significant pressure spikes, resulting in damage or reduced life-span of the turbocharger, and also an unpleasant fluttering noise that is deemed unacceptable in a road-going passenger car. There is also a potential performance improvement, in that without a relief path, rapid throttle closure and the resulting pressure spike can rapidly slow the turbo compressor, leading to a longer delay in returning to peak boost when the throttle is re-opened (i.e. increased turbo lag). Similarly, allowing the bypass valve to relieve too much pressure can also have an adverse effect on turbo lag—evacuating the entire volume of the intake tract means that despite maintaining a higher compressor speed over the short term, when the throttle is re-opened the intake tract must be re-pressurised which causes an increase in lag.
